Cannot load SQLite DLL on Windows 7 32bit PC

Question

I've currently used the System.Data.SQLite DLL in a .NET 4.0 x86 WinForms app. This is causing an issue on one of my client's PCs although I cannot reproduce this bug on my system. Both systems are 32bit Windows 7. How do I solve this? Things I've tried:

• Installing .NET 4.0 (the app is .NET 4)
• Installing all possible VC++ Runtime versions from 2005 to 2012
• Installing this particular VC++ Runtime that SQLite needs (fixed a similar issue on my PC)
• Adding the useLegacyRuntime attribute in the app.config XML

The error looks wierd because my app is obfuscated. The app works on my 32-bit PC and on my 64-bit development PC. It fails on a client machine. What can I do to solve this error?

Answer 1

Turns out my SQLite DLL was outdated. I downloaded the latest from here and rebuilt my app with it. It worked on my PC as well as the client's. I had to install VC++ Runtime 2005 x32 on the Client Machine as well.

In your project, solution explorer expands the Reference section and right click System.Data.SQLite then open properties, in the properties window, make sure copy local is set true . After that rebuild your project and run your client machine again
